Today, they stand condemned for their cruelty and exploitation as men who decimated the ancient civilisations of the Aztecs and the Incas and carried out horrific atrocities in their pursuit of gold and glory.

Los migrantes que llegan a la gran ciudad escapando del hambre y la carencia, los estudiantes del movimiento del 68, la huelga de hambre de las madres de los presos y desaparecidos políticos, la sorprendente hazaña del Güero Medrano y la colonia Rubén Jaramillo; las crónicas reunidas en este libro son el testimonio de una lucha inclemente, de una historia escrita desde abajo con la convicción de que la libertad y la igualdad son valores presentes que se renuevan todos los días.

Enfermeras, cocineras y soldados, rompieron con todos los estereotipos y se volvieron heroínas. Este es el retrato de una de las páginas más gloriosas de nuestra historia.
